Schwapp@TheMovies Double Feature: Be Kind Rewind & Definitely Maybe

I had the opportunity to create my own double feature at the theater this passed weekend. I saw two very different movies, both deserving and needing of some lauding, given that they don't seem to be receiving the attention or appreciation that they truly deserve.

Be Kind Rewind is a much more understated comedy than you'd initially think. If you go in expecting copious amounts of Jack Black tomfoolery, you might be disappointed. If you go in expecting a heartwarming comedy, you'll be justly rewarded.

Definitely Maybe has ads that scream of Valentine's Day romantic comedy cash-in. Though it was released on the holiday, this isn't your standard mediocre funny love story pushed out to capitalize on timing. It has true heart and pulls you into its story right away, without even having to necessarily use the bright, young Abigail Breslin.
